I just released a brand new video where I challenged a STRANGER to Talk To Camera for 30 Days - I think ya'll will love it!

I have two fears in life. 1) talking to a camera. 2) someone walking in and seeing me talking to a camera.

I don't think people realize how different talking to a camera is from talking to a person. What a transformation though from day 1 to day 30. You just reminded everyone it's possible!

I tried this exercise once and what I did to make myself more comfortable I printed a face on a piece of paper punctured an eye for the camera lense and taped it to the back of my phone. It worked for me helped me feel like I was talking to a real person. I leave this tip here in case someone wanna give it a try.

An important realization I have discovered is a relationship between confidence with talking to cameras and communication in real conversations. As i have improved my skills with the camera, i have gained confidence and strength in face to face conversations. Something to consider as you practice...

“I’m just a guy in a racing jacket, on the Internet”. Hilarious 😊 Love it

This video will change of my life, will comment on it back after 30 days. Wish me luck

I think Matt's starting point was already pretty decent. Would love to see this done with someone who's much worse to begin with (like myself).

This is basically what I did as a side-effect of making videos. My speech went from slow, stuttering, weak and slurred to something more clear, tonal and smooth (still a little quiet though 😬).
My body language and facial expressions have also improved dramatically. I'm not quite there yet, but the difference speaks volumes. Cool to see it working for others!

I absolutely love how you call it “Camera” not “the camera”… it’s subtle, but makes it seem less intimidating, a little more personal, but also more of a skill that can be developed naturally “talking to camera”

I really like your funnel, it barely looks like a advertisement

[danlindner]

When I saw this pop up, I initially wasn’t going to watch it as I thought it was clickbait, but then I realized it’s a Thomas Alex Norman video! Your videos are always excellent and I appreciate how engaging they are. Easy to watch from start to finish!

I noticed a change it appearance. Matt totally changed his look and was way more confident at the end.

[volvemusic]

this video made me smile so much, I definitely relate to Matt. If he can do it, I can do it. Enrolling in your course today!

[goseemekah]

This is exactly why I created my channel! I have hearing loss and I started to lose my confidence in my speaking ability. I’m watching this twice and taking notes. Thank you. ❤

[EmiliaOHara]

I love the playing with the camera distance. It came across so well.

[BrendanKenney]

This was a great video. For sure took a lot from this. Shoutout Matt for being a great 30 challenger!

[alexhardy]

Matt you did amazing and made me laugh as it reminded me of myself and how silly i feel when trying to talk on camera and forgetting everything i want to say and just laughing. Now i don't feel alone anymore, thank you Matt!! I feel more confident now because of you.

Awesome video! I never even had the confidence to pose in front of the camera for a good picture and 3 min. into this video, I took the challenge upon myself, took my phone out to look at its lens, and started speaking.

The initial few mins were super awkward. I started looking around while speaking and getting distracted by several things around me. I was patient, gave it a few more mins and then I started to naturally speak into the lens without looking away and being more natural about my topics. This also increased my focus and allowed me to delve deeper into what I was speaking and brought out the authenticity in me. Thanks for the video. I think this is a great starting point for me and validates my potential that I can speak confidently to the camera too.

This is totally relatable. I need to do the same challenge to myself and practice everyday for an hour for a month with speaking to camera. Your idea is brilliant. Thanks for the tip! I am also thinking of doing a series of shorts, so this could help also. I have heard some people recommend do a whole series of shorts in a month, to get good at it.
